Extract number | Species extracted | Plant part extracted | Extraction solvent | Yield (%) | Total phenolic content (mg GAE/g) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1420 | K. mortagei | Leaves, stems (aerial parts), immature inflorescences | 80% EtOH | 19.62 | 331 ± 33 |
1468 | K. mortagei | Leaves, stems (aerial parts) | 95% EtOH | 6.98 | 571 ± 87 |
1508 | K. mortagei | Mature inflorescence, flowers | 95% EtOH | 16.13 | 818 ± 19 |
1509aq | K. mortagei | Mature inflorescence, flowers | H2O | 22.25 | 1340 ± 116 |
1421 | K. fedtschenkoi | Aerial parts (including woody stems) | 80% EtOH | 12.69 | 370 ± 17 |
1465 | K. fedtschenkoi | Woody stems | 95% EtOH | 7.44 | 498 ± 50 |
1469 | K. fedtschenkoi | Aerial parts (no woody stems) | 95% EtOH | 15.54 | 486 ± 6 |
Comparing the fresh biomass of each plant to its dry mass showed that the non-water portion comprised 7.90 and 5.78% of the overall mass for K. mortagei and K. fedtschenkoi, respectively. The TPC is expressed in mg GAE/g dry extract.
